he is tall.

he is tall. is following the footsteps of great American songwriters Scott Walker and Harry Nilsson on his new 60ies inspired single “new york.”. On September 9 the new single from Copenhagen based singer-songwriter he is tall. is released. The song is called “new york.” and it's simple and honest expression is a suitable sonic backdrop for a landing in JFK airport or a road trip from Montreal to New York City surrounded by the great pine trees along Interstate 87. The overshadowing main character – and the man behind he is tall. – is Troels Thorkild Sørensen and his distinct vocal in a stripped-down setting tastefully accompanied by his acoustic guitar. The chorus opens up and allows for a more grandiose sound with the introduction of strings and trumpet in discrete recognition of natural North America and its vast plains. The arrangement and production are inspired by legendary artists such as Harry Nilsson and Scott Walker, but in a contemporary fashion where newer artists like Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver also provide their influence. Along with the song “new york.” comes the news of an EP to be released in October 2022. The radio host Sebastian Saxton from the Danish national broadcasting company has previously said: “I think your style is truly original and I have a hard time seeing how anyone would be able to copy you, which is a rare appreciation to give! So many thanks for your music. I really appreciate it – and I really think your voice is worth the appraisal.” he is tall. has been very busy recently. Besides studio recordings he has played numerous live-shows around Denmark as well as support act for international artists such as Tyler Childers, The Divine Comedy and Natalie Bergman. In a live setting ‘he is tall.’ is often playing solo – as a one-man-army with the acoustic guitar and his voice as the only weapons. He really manages to fill even large stages with his persistent presence and his great songs, when he steps out on stage, out in the dark and into the spotlight. This summer he has been playing a series of festival shows in Denmark and in the fall 2022 he will set out on his first tour of Germany. Troels on the song: ”new york. is in my own humble opinion one of the best songs I’ve written so far. Also when it comes to the arrangement and the lyrical side of the song. It’s something I’m still quite proud of listening to the song.” “I was traveling around North America when I was young. The journey started In New York. This particular city and the trip are now symbols of a more careless period in my life, where I could do whatever I wanted to, worried less, and where I had an unstoppable appetite for taking the world in. I had friendships that felt like close relatives. Throughout my 20ies many of us have grown apart, and they influence my life much less now. “new york.” is an homage and a thank you to that time and to those relations and two questions that I can’t help to ask myself: Is the best yet to come? And has the world changed for the better?
